Definition ∞ An economic security model is a theoretical framework that describes how incentives and costs influence the behavior of participants within a decentralized system, particularly in the context of security. This model predicts how rational actors will behave given the protocol’s rules and economic parameters. It provides a basis for designing robust blockchain mechanisms that deter malicious activities.
Context ∞ The development of robust economic security models is a central area of academic and industry focus, aiming to ensure the long-term viability of blockchain protocols. A key debate involves the assumptions underlying these models and their applicability to real-world market dynamics and human behavior. Future developments include integrating more advanced behavioral economics and machine learning to create adaptive and predictive economic security models.
